Twitter was overloaded this morning and three tweets were lost to a 500 read timeout.  They were (GMT -5):

Fri Jun 27 11:39:02 2008:24834: Tweet: ‘230 old 1car: 332 new 1 car’

Fri Jun 27 11:52:06 2008:25590: Tweet: ‘NB329 5min late at Millbrae’

Fri Jun 27 11:56:18 2008:25865: Tweet: ‘SB230 old style 1 car; room after 22nd’

I am still on the fence on how to handle failed updates.  I suppose I could retry 3 times or so, but anything more may run the risk of having the tweet become unnewsworthy.  Any thoughts?
